This paper piecing design requires 4 sections. Choose two shades of golden yellow and follow the designations on the pattern for placing the lighter (clover knot symbol) and darker (heart symbol) shades. Shown here are two variations for the background. In the first, the dark and medium shades of blue are alternated around the star. The second variation gives the illusion of a cross behind the star by placing the lighter shade of blue around the vertical and horizontal rays.
